  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Won't face Detroit

    Alexander (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions. Alexander injured his knee in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Jaguars and missed practice all week. Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine should see increased snaps at cornerback against Detroit.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Questionable for Sunday

    Alexander (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Alexander was unable to practice all week after sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Friday's injury report indicates that the veteran corner still has a chance to suit up in Week 9. If Alexander is sidelined Sunday, Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine (ankle) could see increased work with the Packers' first-team defense.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Opens week as DNP

    Alexander (knee) didn't practice Wednesday. Alexander opening Green Bay's week of practice as a DNP comes as no surprise, as the All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation either Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Packers' Week 9 divisional matchup against the Lions.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Avoids serious injury

    Initial testing on Alexander's right knee injury Monday did not reveal any significant concerns, and the Packers will continue to monitor his soreness throughout the week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. The cornerback sustained the injury late in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but Demovsky's report suggests Alexander avoided what could have been a serious issue. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication on whether he can play in this Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Getting MRI on knee

    Alexander is getting an MRI on his knee after he sustained an injury during Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Alexander hobbled off the field awkwardly following the Packers' final defensive play Sunday, and now he's getting his knee looked at to see whether there's a significant injury. Until further notice, his availability for Week 9 is now in doubt.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Limited to open week

    Alexander (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It's not much of a surprise to see Alexander on the Packers' injury report, given that he's played through a groin issue over the last two weeks. Unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two practices, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Alexander played every single defensive snap during the Packers' win over the Texans on Sunday, picking up three solo tackles in the process.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Ready to rock

    Alexander (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports. The All-Pro corner practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a groin injury, but it appears he'll play through the pain for the second consecutive game Sunday. Expect Alexander to start opposite Eric Stokes as part of the Packers' top outside-cornerback duo in Week 7.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Still working through groin injury

    Alexander (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Alexander returned from a two-game absence in Week 6 against the Cardinals, and he finished the game with one solo tackle, one pass defended and one fumble recovery across 44 defensive snaps. Alexander was limited in all three practices last week, so unless he suffers a setback over the next few days, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Could return Week 6

    Alexander (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Alexander has missed Green Bay's last two contests after sustaining quadriceps and groin injuries in the Packers' Week 3 win over the Colts. However, the All-Pro cornerback was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions and has a chance to suit up in Week 6. If Alexander misses his third consecutive game Sunday, the Packers could push slot corner Keisean Nixon to the outside, play Javon Bullard at nickel and line up Evan Williams next to Xavier McKinney at safety, as the team did in Week 5.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Gets questionable tag

    Alexander (groin) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Alexander missed the Packers' Week 4 loss to the Vikings due to both a quadriceps and groin issue. He kicked off this week with a DNP, but subsequently practiced consecutive days in limited fashion. He is looking like a true game-time decision Sunday. If he is unable to suit up, Corey Ballentine would be next in line to start at cornerback opposite Eric Stokes, with Keisean Nixon in the slot.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: DNP to open week

    Alexander (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Alexander was inactive for the Packers' Week 4 loss against the Vikings after not being able to practice in the final session leading up to the game. His DNP on Wednesday isn't a great start to the week, but the veteran corner will have two more opportunities to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. Alexander has accrued 11 tackles (10 solo) and four passes defended (two interceptions, including a pick-six) across three regular-season games.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Questionable for Week 4

    Alexander (quadriceps) is considered questionable to play Sunday versus the Vikings. Alexander did not participate at practice Friday after logging back-to-back limited sessions to open the week due to quadriceps and groin injuries. It's certainly not ideal that the cornerback is trending in the wrong direction with his participation at practice, and he will likely be a game-time decision prior to Sunday's divisional matchup at home versus Minnesota.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Dealing with quadriceps issue

    Alexander (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Alexander popped up on the Packers' injury report as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, despite playing 98-percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording a pick-six during Green Bay's Week 3 win over the Titans. If the All-Pro cornerback is unable to move past his quadriceps issue in time for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, expect Corey Ballentine to see more work with the Packers' first-team defense.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Logs interception in loss

    Alexander recorded four solo tackles and an interception in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles. Alexander was not particularly tight in coverage in Week 1, but he did at least pick up an interception after not recording even one in seven regular-season 2023 appearances. Injuries have been an issue for Alexander in recent years, but on the heels of a healthy offseason he is locked in as Green Bay's top cornerback.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Limited appearances in 2023

    Alexander recorded 27 tackles (23 solo), a forced fumble and five pass deflections over seven games in the 2023 regular season. It was a peculiar season for Alexander, who missed nine games with injury and another due to a team-imposed suspension, but he was out there during the playoffs, and his presence was key for Green Bay's defense. A healthy Alexander -- the league's highest-paid cornerback -- would go a long way toward the Packers being more effective on the defensive side of the ball in 2024.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Alexander (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Alexander injured his ankle in a walk-through prior to Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over Dallas, then aggravated the injury during the game, though he made an impact before his exit with an interception. Coach Matt LaFleur was hopeful that Alexander would be able to practice Thursday, and a return at that point would put Alexander on track to suit up Saturday in the divisional round against the 49ers.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Will play Sunday

    Alexander (ankle) is active Sunday against the Cowboys. Alexander logged back-to-back DNPs after starting the practice week with a limited session. The All-Pro corner's ability to take the field for the wild-card matchup with Dallas is of course good news for the defense. The 26-year-old will likely be key in the Packers' attempts to contain CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys' passing attack Sunday.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Deemed limited to begin week

    Alexander (shoulder/ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough. Alexander returned from a one-game suspension to play all 46 of Green Bay's defensive snaps Week 18 against Chicago. He's been dealing with a shoulder issue since early November and missed six games because of it, though it's not certain that his current injury is related. Assuming Alexander is able to suit up in Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Cowboys, his presence will be key in trying to slow down CeeDee Lamb and Dallas' pass attack.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Returning Sunday

    Alexander (shoulder) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. The All-Pro cornerback will return to the field in his hometown of Charlotte in Week 16 after missing the Packers' last six games. Alexander will start alongside Eric Stokes in Green Bay's secondary, and the two will look to cause problems for a Panthers offense that has scored less than 21 points in eight straight games.

  • Packers' Jaire Alexander: Starts Week 16 with limited session

    Alexander (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday. Alexander has missed the Packers' past six games due to a shoulder injury, though the team has elected not to place him on IR. The two-time All-Pro cornerback has been limited for 15 straight practices dating back to Week 11 prep, so Green Bay appears to be exercising both caution and patience with his return. Alexander may need to return to a full practice session before the Packers feel comfortable having him suit up on gameday.
